Methods and system for the treatment of agricultural products

A system for treating an agricultural product in a confined atmosphere within a space at a treatment location to inhibit a ripening process of the agricultural product, the system comprising:

• a portable case containing
• at least one treatment compound generator, the at least one treatment compound generator having an exit port and being configured to generate a treatment compound fluid at the treatment location, the exit port fluidly connectable to the confined atmosphere of the space at the treatment location to release a treatment compound fluid into the confined atmosphere;
• and
• a sampling subsystem, the sampling subsystem including an inlet port fluidly connected to a pump and a collection chamber, the inlet port fluidly connectable to the confined atmosphere of the space at the treatment location to (i) collect a sample of the confined atmosphere through the inlet port with the pump, and (ii) store the sample within the collection chamber.

• and
• a power supply subsystem connected with, and supplying power to, the at least one treatment compound generator.
